Digital Learning Day 2014
3rd grade kicked off our DLD participation with a Winter Olympic project! Students have been paired together to research an Olympic event and create a 3-pane comic strip to inform others about their event. During the first week of February, students are reading about their event and completing a graphic organizer with facts and ideas for their comic. Next week, students will complete their comics with the MakeBeliefsComix online tool. We will be posting the comics on the Library website for all to enjoy!

Word Clouds
We had so much fun with word clouds, that students created word clouds to describe themselves! Students completed a short questionnaire, then headed to the computers to create their own cloud. Students created some great visual representations of themselves!

Meet Chester & Scaredy Squirrel!
We kicked off this unit with a video of Melanie Watt describing how she comes up with ideas for her books and she demonstrated how she draws her characters. Students even had a chance to try to draw Chester and Scaredy Squirrel!
If you haven't read one of Melanie Watts' books yet, make sure to pick one up at the library and read it with your child! Learn more about Melanie Watt, Chester and Scaredy Squirrel by visiting their website at http://www.scaredysquirrel.com/aboutmw.html.
